Job Description

You are a technical engineering leader first. You can architect an end-to-end streaming solution, debug a complex Spark job in production, and present a data strategy roadmap to VPs — all in the same week. You don't just manage engineers; you make them better. You set the technical bar, own critical data domains, and serve as the go-to authority when the hardest problems land on the table. 

You will design, build, and scale the data pipelines that power Domino's — integrating batch and real-time data across Digital Commerce, Marketing, Supply Chain, and Finance to deliver trusted, high-quality data products that drive decisions at every level of the business. 

You'll lead data engineering with a data-as-a-product mindset — delivering data products end-to-end, from ingestion and transformation to semantic modeling, quality, and serving. Each data product has clear consumers, defined SLAs, governed semantics, and measurable business outcomes. 

General Responsibilities

Technical Leadership 

  • Design and build scalable, production-grade data solutions across batch and real-time workloads — you set the technical bar for the team 
  • Design and evolve cloud-based data warehouse and lakehouse solutions, with Databricks as the core platform 
  • Own the technical direction for data integration, transformation, and serving layers across your domain 
  • Drive streaming data solutions using Confluent Kafka for real-time use cases — POS transactions, digital order events, customer activity, and supply chain signals 
  • Lead data modeling, schema design, and optimization across SQL Server, Databricks (Delta Lake), and NoSQL data stores 
  • Establish and enforce engineering standards: code quality, peer reviews, CI/CD, automated testing, documentation, and observability 
  • Design, build, operate, and continuously improve data assets that are reliable, discoverable, and ready for analytics and AI
  • Build AI‑ready data foundations — curated datasets, real‑time pipelines, feature‑ready data, and governed semantics that accelerate ML and GenAI use cases
  • Partner with Data Science and AI teams to operationalize data pipelines that move models from experimentation to production
  • Define data product contracts (schemas, freshness, quality, semantics) that enable self‑service consumption across BI, analytics, and AI use cases
  • Establish enterprise‑grade semantics to ensure consistent definitions across Digital Commerce, Marketing, Supply Chain, and Finance
  • Evaluate and adopt emerging technologies — staying hands-on and keeping the team at the cutting edge 

Stakeholder Partnership 

  • Partner directly with Digital Commerce, Marketing, Supply Chain, Finance, and Enterprise Systems teams to understand business needs and translate them into scalable engineering solutions 
  • Serve as the primary technical point of contact for your data domain — owning requirements intake, solution design, and delivery 
  • Collaborate with Data Architecture, Data Science, Analytics, and Platform teams to align on standards, governance, and shared data products 
  • Drive data activation and enablement — making data accessible, discoverable, and actionable for downstream consumers 
  • Partner with business stakeholders to co‑create data products, aligning engineering priorities to business outcomes rather than one‑off data requests

Team Leadership & Growth 

  • Lead, mentor, and grow a team of talented data engineers — build a culture of ownership, technical excellence, and continuous learning 
  • Conduct design reviews, architecture discussions, and hands-on pairing sessions that elevate the entire team's craft 
  • Drive career development, leveling frameworks, and growth plans that help engineers reach their full potential 
  • Manage resource allocation across projects — balancing modernization, new feature delivery, and operational support 
  • Recruit and retain top-tier engineering talent — your technical credibility is the strongest hiring signal 

Thought Leadership 

  • Shape the data engineering strategy and roadmap — presenting architecture decisions, migration plans, and business impact to senior leadership 
  • Evangelize modern data engineering practices: lakehouse architecture, DataOps, streaming-first patterns, and data mesh principles 
  • Drive innovation — identify opportunities to leverage GenAI, automation, and advanced tooling to accelerate engineering velocity 
  • Champion a data product operating model — moving the organization from pipeline delivery to product ownership, reuse, and scale
  • Influence how teams define success: adoption, trust, and business impact — not just pipeline completion
  • Represent the team in cross-functional forums, architecture review boards, and vendor engagements 

Tech Stack 

  • Cloud Data Platform: Databricks (Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Workflows, SQL Warehouses) 
  • Streaming: Confluent Kafka, Kafka Connect, Schema Registry 
  • Databases: SQL Server, NoSQL (MongoDB / Cosmos DB / DynamoDB) 
  • ETL / Orchestration: Talend, Databricks Workflows, Azure Data Factory 
  • Languages: Python, PySpark, SQL 
  • DevOps: Git, CI/CD (GitHub Actions / Jenkins), Infrastructure-as-Code 
  • BI & Analytics: Power BI, Looker, or equivalent 
  • Cloud: Azure or equivalent (ADLS, Key Vault, Networking, AAD) 

 

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of hands-on data engineering experience; 3+ years leading engineering teams 
  • Deep technical expertise with at least one major cloud data platform — Databricks strongly preferred 
  • Production experience building and operating streaming data solutions (Confluent Kafka or equivalent) 
  • Strong proficiency in Python, PySpark, and SQL — you can still architect and debug production pipelines 
  • Experience with SQL Server, cloud data warehouses, and NoSQL databases in enterprise environments 
  • Experience with Customer 360 platforms, identity resolution, and unified customer data solutions — building the data engineering foundations that power a single, trusted view of the customer 
  • Experience building data platforms that enable analytics, ML, and AI workloads — even if you are not training models yourself
  • Strong understanding of how data engineering, semantics, and data quality directly impact AI outcomes
  • Proven ability to partner with business stakeholders and translate ambiguous requirements into scalable technical solutions 
  • Track record of building, growing, and retaining high-performing engineering teams 
  • Excellent communication — you can go deep in a design review and go broad in a leadership presentation 
  • BS/MS in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or related field 

Preferred Qualifications

  • Familiarity with MarTech stacks — CDPs, campaign analytics, audience segmentation data flows 
  • Talend ETL development and cloud migration experience 
  • Data governance and compliance (SOX, CCPA/GDPR) 
  • Databricks certifications (Data Engineer Professional, Associate) 
  • Exposure to ML/AI data foundations: feature stores, MLflow, experiment tracking 
  • QSR, retail, or high-volume consumer-facing industry experience 
  • Experience driving Agile/Scrum delivery in matrixed organizations

Company Description

Domino’s Pizza, which began in 1960 as a single store location in Ypsilanti, MI, has had a lot to celebrate lately: we’re a reshaped, reenergized brand of honesty, transparency and accountability – not to mention, great food! In the rise to becoming a true technology leader, the brand is now consistently one of the top five companies in online transactions and 85% of our sales in the U.S. are taken through digital channels. The brand continues to ‘deliver the dream’ to local business owners, 90% of which started as delivery drivers and pizza makers in our stores. That’s just the tip of the iceberg…or as we might say, one “slice” of the pie! If this sounds like a brand you’d like to be a part of, consider joining our team!
